The diplomats sounded like fascists over the phone,saying everyone over two must wear the muzzle at all times, but were GRACIOUS enough to ALLOW us to remove them without haranguing us (funny how the Overton window closes so quickly - now being allowed to not muzzle oneself is an act of graciousness!)
Anyone, my toddler boy was not forced to muzzle, but when he looked at me after I had muzzled up at the guard shack, he had this quick look of terror flash across his face, and I felt sick with pity and empathy for my poor boy.
All that to say, I feel pangs of empathy for this couple, and hope they can exact financial revenge upon the fascist airline.
BTW that Moscow consulate had a huge, BEAUTIFUL new second floor for visa processing and other services, which had been added since my last visit in 2018 to drop off our absentee ballots.
The amount of money our government wastes, especially on services for non-citizens, is as massive and incomprehensible as the size and scope of our universe.
You're on the right page finally, Mark. Forget reasoned, factual debates over muzzle and lockdown efficacy with the likes of Bmueller and jfsully. That is conceding 75% of the argument from the getgo, much like arguing to defend oneself from accusations of racism implies that there could even have been racist motivations for whatever you said.
We must change the playing field from lockdown and muzzle efficacy to the conditions necessary for their elimination: when can we stop wearing the damn masks?
Who cares how effective they are at reducing viral load spreads, if the virus spread can never be measured to be (or even possibly become) low enough to meet their threshold for ending all this tyranny? Are we really supposed to live like this forever?
The last few lines of that propaganda piece are another great example of the lies that get slipped in by our treasonous media.
How is it an established fact that president Trump investigating election fraud is what's responsible for public officials being threatened?
